Standard (EADGBE)
Chorus
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
I don't know care what train I'm on,
as long as it keeps rolling on.
Don't know where I'm headed for,
makes no difference, anymore.
Got no future, got no home,
can't do nothing now, but roam.
Chorus
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
I don't know care what train I'm on,
as long as it keeps rolling on.
When my baby left my side,
something deep inside me died.
Got to keep a-moving on,
til the memory of her is gone.
Chorus
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
I don't know care what train I'm on,
as long as it keeps rolling on.
When I die, just bury me, please..
way down the end of old Chestnut Street.
Poplars at my head and feet..
and tell her that I've gone to sleep.
Chorus
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
I don't know care what train I'm on,
as long as it keeps rolling on.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
